Potted Roses

Potted roses are available all year round. They are very popular gifts and can be planted during the summer months outside of the bare root rose season. Once planted, they establish quickly in the garden, flowering in their first year – and for many years to come.
Potted roses are delivered direct from David Austin’s nursery by courier. Each rose will arrive in a premium 6 litre pot, securely packed inside a sturdy, rose-print box. If watered adequately, potted roses can be kept in the same pot in which they are delivered for 6 weeks or more. Potted roses are £5 more than bare root roses.

An extremely floriferous rambler; it repeat-flowers in fragrant flushes throughout the summer until the first frosts. The small, fully double blooms are a lovely soft yellow and are held in medium-large clusters. It is very healthy with strong, slender growth, attractive polished foliage and few thorns. DavidﾠAustin, 2000.

A very healthy rambler, which flowers freely and repeatedly throughout the summer. Its pretty, semi-double flowers, each about 2" across, are held in sprays on long, slender and flexible stems. They are a pale pink colour with golden stamens and a fresh citrus fragrance. DavidﾠAustin, 2014.

A healthy and completely reliable rambler. It is smothered with huge bunches of small, single blooms. These are blush white, delicately tinted with soft pink at the edges, later becoming almost pure white, creating the impression of apple blossom. They have a strong, pleasing musky fragrance that carries over a wide area. It produces masses of small, oval, orange-red hips in the autumn. The growth is strong and bushy with elegant, pointed, glossy dark green foliage. LesterﾠRoseﾠGardens, 1946.

A repeat-flowering rambling rose, bearing delightful sprays of small, pale apricot-pink flowers, flushed with pale yellow. They are made up of narrow, quill-like petals, creating a very pleasing effect, and have a lovely sweet fragrance. It does not grow very tall, so is useful for smaller spaces. Bide, 1923.

A repeat-flowering variety which, unusually for a rambler, has fully double flowers that are small and cup-shaped. They are blush pink, fading to blush white and are held in large, gracefully hanging sprays. The petals of each bloom are beautifully arranged around a little button eye; the overall appearance being one of exceptional prettiness and charm. DavidﾠAustin, 2013.

A rose of delicate charm with beautifully formed flowers, which nod gracefully on the stem. When the petals open they expose numerous stamens, providing an almost water lily-like effect. The flowers are a pale glowing pink, shading to palest pink on the outer petals. There is a strong and delicious fragrance with aspects of Old Rose, musk and myrrh. The leaves are a pale greyish green and they stay on until late into the winter. DavidﾠAustin, 2002.

Strongly fragrant, bearing plentiful, pretty, single flowers. They are a lovely shade of mid pink, with golden stamens displayed against a central white eye, and are held in close trusses. In autumn it produces orange-red hips. The growth is bushy and rather stiff with many thorns and grey-green foliage. Kew, 1872.

A repeat-flowering rambler; it bears unusual, very attractive flowers of soft salmon-pink, which quickly fade to a light pink. They are medium-sized and very full, the quill shaped petals radiating out from a button eye. There is a strong apple fragrance with a hint of chrysanthemum. Its graceful lax growth is easy to train. Tanne, 1873.

Bears large heads of small, creamy white, semi-double flowers which eventually fade to white. They have a powerful musky clove scent and are produced in great abundance on strong, dense, twiggy growth. The flowers are followed by masses of small hips in the autumn.

Pretty yellow buds open into fully double, quartered, creamy white flowers, each about 3" across, held in small clusters. It flowers in early summer and has some ability to repeat flower later in the season. The long, thin, flexible stems are easy to train. It is almost evergreen, with ample, glossy, dark green foliage. Barbier, 1860.

Small, closely packed pompon flowers of creamy white, flushed pink at first, are held in large, slightly hanging clusters and have a delicate primrose fragrance. They are produced quite late in the season, around mid-July. Almost evergreen; it forms a dense mass of small, dark, neat foliage. Jacques, 1827.

Bears flat, quartered, crimson-pink blooms, each with many quilled petals surrounding a green eye and yellow stamens. Its strong colouring creates a magnificent effect en masse. The flowers are complemented by dark, glossy foliage. There is some repeat-flowering, often with a good crop of flowers in early autumn. The growth is vigorous and it has few thorns. Barbier, 1869.
